Edith and Candy's 25th Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EDITH AND CANDY....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

They turned 25 in Aug and September respectively and it is our tradition to celebrate each other's birthday every year. So far, we have been keeping to it faithfully. In fact, we have been told that our batch is the one batch that has been successful in meeting up regularly; at least 3 times a year!! Kudos to the magnificent 7 of The Outdoor Adventure Club of Temasek Junior College :)
Left : Candy, Right : Edith

We are a cool bunch of people. A mixture of philosophical, emo, logical, blur blur and whacky individuals in this group. The 7 of us really went through fire and rain to run the club well when we took over the baton from our seniors. The 2 years that we had together were superbly memorable and I always felt that if not for this bunch of people who stuck through with me, my 2 years in JC would have been rather 'empty'. Hehe thanks a million guys and gals for making my memories of JC life a wonderful and unforgettable one!

I shall introduce the Magnificent 7 (1 is away frolicking in Hawaii by himself, soaking in the beach, sun and sight of hot babes! He is none other than our Chief - Yeo Yongquan).



Gals (from left clockwise): Chien Fang, Candy, Edith, Grace

Guys: Mervin, Vincent (absent: Yongquan)









Mervin is the philosophical ONE in the group. A thinker and forever sprouting chim chim stuff! Haha..but he has his quirky moments. Interesting fella!


Vincent, he is the unmatchable BLUR KING! Since we knew him till today, he has this perpetually blur look on his face. But at times, he really surpass our expectations and can be really alert! :) Eh he was the Sea Specialist ok! Don't play play hor









Chien Fang was our Asst Sea Spec. She also quite blur blur one ...but a cool babe. Very steady and reliable. Can never go wrong when she's being entrusted with a task

Candy - our Campcraft specialist. The one who teaches the juniors how to tie a particular structure , knots etc. Petite but a fiesty and dynamic gal. Don't mess with her!

Edith - the QM. Very fierce ok. Don't be deceived by her demure and lady-like looks! She's quite 'chor-lor' at times. But that's in the past lah. Now, she's evolved into a mature and lady like beauty! Yongquan will surely disagree with me but since he's not ard, no opposing views for now.

SPECIAL MENTIONS - JUST FOR YONGQUAN :)

To our dearest Chief Instructor, YongQuan. Your presence is dearly missed this evening. We know you are having lots of fun in Hawaii and we have not forgotten about you. We missed you most when we could not finish our food and we thought of how you could be of much help!

Haha..just kidding. This is a toast from us to you and we look forward to a reunion of the Magnificent 7 come year end :)




Even the cake, we chose to leave the biggest slice for you! We toyed with the idea of leaving it in Candy's lab's fridge but we realised its meant only for bacteria! So...errrr...guess not then :)

Hehe...the size of the cake is fairly representative of how BIG a role you play in this team!

Breather

Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available. I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get ...

ACTION 100%

I finally can take a breather and bloggie! I just can't believe that my 2 weeks of the 10weeks practicum have just passed! But of course, its just ACTION this entire week since I started teaching. My gosh....if anyone desires for time to pass quickly JOIN TEACHING! Having not taught for the last 1.5years, getting back to the routine sure took some adjustment. Physically, I crashed by 10pm every night. Last night, 8.45pm! Record set. Just last week I was thinking its ultra boring to just shadow my CTs and not teach....I basically didn't know what I was asking for then. Mornings start with the mad rush of preparing for PE lessons and its just been taxing on my brain! After PE, I feel as though I've ran a marathon. I just slump on my chair and let the cool air from the air-con bring me back to life. When school ends, I just have little energy left to do my own trainings! OH ...btw I cycle to and fro school so....its zero level at the end of the day. Joani said this to me befor...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...
